Beware of the Puma's

One must really become creative when trying to break the ice. Since I just love to be on the cutting edge of everything (or not) I will spill the latest, trendiest, craziest and deadliest way to officially break the ice. Ready for this? Yes I said deadliest...still ready? Ok, here goes.........step on a mouse and kill it. Yeah, uh I did that on accident I swear because had I seen Bob (aka dead mousey) I'd of gotten out of his way! While at work I was just doing my job and almost tripped and then turn and look down and there lay Bob on his side breathing his last little breaths. Because I am so not a sissy I didn't scream at all. Instead I just pointed and said gross and that someone needs to get him outta here so I can do my job. Dude next to me looks puzzled and doesn't do anything. The only other female in the immediate area goes and grabs a piece of paper and picks up poor ole Bob and throws him in the trash! And here I thought I was all cool cause I didn't shriek like sissy and she goes and picks him up like it was nothing! I am not that macho! So needless to say it gave us all a little laugh and got us talking. I mean of all the places for a mouse to go he ends up underneath my whooping size 6 shoe??? Ok Bob! If that's the way you wanted to go...RIP little guy!

Randomness

So yikes! I didn't realize I left a post of my little guy being sick up as the first thing on my blog for so long! I know that's so what everyone wants to see when they pull up my blog so your welcome really!

I'm done moving, however trying to unpack my stuff is a bit of a challenge as one really must get creative when living in smaller quarters with so much stuff. Well, that or unload some junk! I haven't quite decided on that one yet, hence all the boxes everywhere.

I really don't know where I'm going with this post because my mind is wondering and well I have nothing super exciting to blog about. The 'Chic Pad' as me and Felisha like to call it is coming along slowly. It'll be super cute in time. Felisha's room is probably the cutest at the moment with her new bedroom suite and all. We are doing white furniture with black accessories and then her bedding we are thinking we'll do black and white with lime green accents. I think we can pull it off. I'm almost certain she will be sneaking her vampire boyfriend into the decor somehow. Just a hunch I have.

Since I heart Target and visit them frequently I'm totally loving the fact that they are just across the freeway from me and theres a Starbucks in there so its just grand really! In there ever changing Dollar Spot we found an autograph frame for a buck of course and I had Felisha take it to her old school and have her classmates sign it before her last day there. When she brought it home I found it to be so stinkin' cute cause they all left little messages and their phone numbers! All I can say is thank goodness for unlimited texting!!

Unexplainable Bling

One must consider mysterious light images appearing from nowhere when wearing some bling-age. As I was driving to work today I kept seeing these small little light reflections and thought I was losing my mind. I look over to my passenger seat, back seat, hood of my car, behind my car, on the floor of my car, cars behind me, everywhere. I really thought I was losing it for awhile as it was driving me nuts not knowing where they were coming from. I safely make it to work and hours pass and it finally dawns on me that my shirt be 'blinging it' so to speak and that's what was making me go silly and not some creature from nowhere trying to whisk me away to some foreign land of Ecstasy. All my luck!

Working 9 to 5

Don't I wish I had those hours! Some good news is that I go back to work today after being laid off for what seems like forever! I've managed to have worked only a total of 2 (two) yes 2 weeks since Christmas! The rest of this time I've managed to be laid off. Not by choice because I actually like to work! Ok, I like bringing home a paycheck per say.

During such time I'd like to tell you how I've managed to find a cure for all cancers and other diseases, start my own foundation for charitable causes for the good of mankind, make sure no one in this world will ever go hungry and have a roof over their heads every night as well as a warm bed to sleep in and last but not least fix this whole economy situation we all suffer with! I know! I've been soooo busy!

Ok, so I really do wish all of that and more would happen in this lifetime but in the mean time I have been extremely lazy! I have had the privilage of sleeping in, staying in my pj's till noon (or later) daily, putting off washing...drying...and folding impressively large heaps of laundry (I sometimes like to see just how much I can fit in those front loaders!), staying up late, procrasting housework and doing my fair share of 'frugal' shopping. Hardest part of my day? Making sure Felisha is up and ready for school on time! Sad huh! Best part of my days...spending good quaility time with my children!


Busted being lazy and snoozing into the afternoon.















Counting down when his can rid himself of his mommy for awhile!














Are they happy to see me head back to work? (surely not!) (At least I hope!)














Update: Someone stole my veggie sandwich! I put it in the fridge and not even 20 minutes later someone up and ran off with it spreading it all over the kitchen floor! Gee, I wonder who that could have been? Braden, that was supposed to be my dinner tonight at work. What does he think...no dinner no work? Ha! Guess whos counting down now?!

Texting

So, I'm a 'Texter'! I really hate talking on the phone except to a select few people I suppose, my sister being one of them. She recently got a new phone and data plan so now we can 'get our text on' for a change! Her carrier has provided her with 500 minutes of outside text usage and since I'm the only one she knows thats not in her network it is up to me to make good use of her freebies!

Texting has really thrown us both off as we find each other to be way more hilarious via text message. I think I have figured the reason behind all our new found chuckling at our phones. We both have children, our 2 year olds are 13 days apart which is so cool in itself, so we both struggle with the same things while trying to communicate with someone on the phone. Our conversations over the phone usually contain the same phrases such as Stop that, Give Me That, Get Down from There, Come Here, Gosh you Stink....Again, Get Away from That, Do you have to potty, Boy you are Cranky, Do you need a nap, Oh you're gonna get it, Oh Yuck, Stay Out of there and so forth sandwiched into our conversations about mid sentence....every sentence.

However, if we start texting this way we both know we have bigger problems than just two year olds!

On to my friend Victoria, she can now send me texts! With a simple hello, how are you, hey lets get together and you spend some money all is great! Except Victoria already sends me enough daily emails and that as curious as I am to see what offers shes got for me via text, I'll have to pass. I'd go broke if I printed and used every coupon she sent me to her store. Besides, I'm a little hurt she shares all her Secrets with the whole world and not just me! I will however be in soon to claim my free pair of panties at Victoria's Secret!

One great thing about texting is that you don't always have to answer right away like you do when you're carrying on a real conversation (not that texting isn't real conversing cause it's so super real as well). With texting you can simply ignore/avoid the question or totally fake paying attention and go back later to see what the heck they were talking about when you were preoccupied with someone else's drama. The IPhone is great cause it logs all your convo's with each person so you never miss a beat! Then later you can scroll through your lack of conversation and realize when you said 'yes I can't wait' that you were agreeing to carpool, diaper duty, homeroom mom and have to bake 85 cupcakes for the school carnival that is tomorrow!

Ya gotta love it!
